‘Torsion Spring’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Abssac torsion springs have linear spring rates from
Abssac, which we summarised at the time by saying "Abssac supplies unwind and wind-up torsion springs with linear spring rates. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Royal Products tools incorporate quality steels from
Royal Products: "Royal Products is offering its Live Centers range of tools incorporating high-quality steels, bearings and seals. ".
In October 2009, we covered the news from Igus UK
- take a look at Igus optical-fibre cable suits all bus systems
which says: "Igus has developed an optical-fibre cable, Chainflex CFLG.2LB, which is suitable for all bus systems. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Wago Corp, Wago enhances power supply range,
as well as Festo develops low-cost electric actuator from Festo,
and Captive-screw products include UL-approved types from PennEngineering.
